Let the young pups that can afford it find the cops and get the tickets before I get there. I was thinking of riding down the interstate without the engine sounding and feeling like it was strained just trying to maintain highway speeds. The 103 with 6 speed has been described to me as driving down the road with cruise control. Low RPM with minimum engine effort, but power if you needed it.At one point, I was considering changing out the engine and transmission. Not going to happen. First I couldn't find in the catalog that there was an "upgrade" for my year bike and secondly, the price just for the engine and transmission (before installation and labor) was $8000.00. Cheaper to just get a new bike.</blockquote>
